Before coming to Faith Mission I was stuck in a world of addiction, crime, and homelessness; just to name a few.  I really didn't want to come but I was too sick to live another day the way I had been living for years.  I was cold, hungry, and disgusted.  This changed for me after being there about 3 or 4 days.  My counselor helped me to start believing in myself again.  I started to listen to what other people were saying especially the client and the 12-step speakers.  I knew I could better myself but I had failed so many times in the past.  My pattern was to go to detox and back to the street.  But this time I followed the advice of my counselor and went to a 28-day rehab and then to Sober House.  Its now 4 years later and my life has changed completely.  I'm employed, back in school and most importantly, totally removed from the dark world I once lived in.  I also have a nicely furnished apartment and my 3 children are rooting for me 100%.  None of this would have happened if I had not been encouraged to make the right decision while at Faith Mission.

My entire immediate family has been destroyed by drugs and alcohol.  I never met my father, but my mother died in her 40's from liver problems.  My youngest brother is doing 20 years to life, my 2 oldest brothers are both heroin addicts.  I have not seen them in years.  I swore that I would not be like them but I did.  I swore I would be a better mother to my 2 children but I wasn't.  I was sent to Faith Mission by my Parole Officer after giving up dirty urines.  I just went to get him off my back.  I was not serious about getting help.  I just didn't want to go back to jail.  The first week at Faith Mission was terrible.  My counselor kept telling me things I didn't want to hear, like I give up too easy, I make bad choices, I'm self-destructive and that drugs and alcohol would one day kill me.  Oh I hated him.  How could he talk to me like this.  After a few days of anger I laid in my bed and I started to play back all of my life.  I didn't like what I saw.  I started to see things I had never considered before counseling and I think that was probably the beginning of the end of a self destructive life.  After a few more days of thinking and struggling with my own mind I took my counselor's advice and went away for long-term care.  I was out of the City for two years while in the therapeutic community.  It was there that I learned the skills necessary for me to live the life that I am living today.  I am in my fourth year of sobriety and it feels great!
